After a day in Petra, ice cream, a change of clothes, and a beer at the Moevenpick Hotel, it was time to go to Petra Kitchen for a Jordanian cooking lesson. Petra Kitchen is a local initiative for visitors, to get a hands-on experience of Jordanian culture, by working with a team of local men and women to cook an evening meal and then eat together.
It is amazing how many different dishes you can make of largely the same ingredients: tomatoes, onion, lemon and garlic.

The ingredients are all locally sourced, the tableware comes from the women's ceramics workshop, and the aprons, tablecloths, and napkins are all hand-embroidered by Jordanian women.
We had a lot of fun during the 3 hours, and the food was great. We have all the recipes, and will definitely make some of the dishes at home - so watch out next time you come for dinner!
